Town in Jefferson County NY, solid red county in NY. Town of 1500, 1000 protestors marched. "Jaime Cook, principal of the Sackets Harbor school district where the children reportedly attended class, wrote a letter to the community pleading for the students’ safe return. She described the students as having “no ties to criminal activity” and that they are “loved in their classrooms”. "The family was taken into custody in a 27 March raid at a large dairy farm in the remote town that has a population of fewer than 1,500 in Jefferson county in north-western New York state, on Lake Ontario near the Canadian border. The target of the raid was reportedly a South African national charged with trafficking in child sexual abuse material, whom they apprehended, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents said. "But authorities separately picked up and detained the family, as well as three other immigrants they said were without documentation. The family was moved to the Karnes county immigration processing center, a privately run detention facility in Texas, by 30 March. "Cook’s letter said that the family had declared themselves to immigration judges, were attending court on their assigned dates and had been following the legal process." Article also says they lived in a separate house that was raided without a warrant. |

They were released after the protest. I'd call that successful! |

| Sanctuary state. They could have notified ICE when this person was arrested. Instead more people get caught up in the ICE dragnet. |

| People who work for ICE need to have their homes picketed. |
